No seats left

Which came first? 'The Dutch Design Brand' or 'The Dutch Design Chair? The idea for The Dutch Design Chair originated in June 2011 when Tim Vardy visited the North Sea Jazz Festival. When he saw that there were no seats left, he came up with the idea to design a practical cardboard chair with a beautiful print. The chair proved to be such a hit that Tim decided to design a complete line under the name Dutch Design Brand. But the Dutch Design Chair wil always remain Tim's favourite!
